It was Crassus (the third wheel of the first triumvirate) that may have been killed by molten gold. Cicero was killed on the orders of Mark Antony, 21 months after the assassination of Julius Caesar. His head and hands were nailed to the senate doors.

I particularly love how he upends the standard view of Cicero for the establishment bullshit artist he was.

Ask UK@feddit.uk•What is going on with people painting the red cross on the roundabouts to make the flag of england?English
1·3 months agoWhich is instructive and ironic that they choose Loyalists. Ulster is a mature settler colonial project where their intention was to supplant the indigenous population. That is what these far right twats fear most happening to them. The fact that it is not the essence of the act but that the subject of the act potentially being themselves that defines the act as evil in their eyes reveals their untrustworthy shallow parasitic self interest.
In northern ireland, they’d paint the kerb stones red, white and blue as well as putting up the flags and bunting in areas where there was a working class protestant majority. They couldn’t enact pogroms like they did in the 1920’s with impunity so this slowly strangling intimidation became the vogue for the capture of territory and constant enforcement of sectarianism on the entirety of both communities. As a catholic growing up there, those areas did not feel like public space but pits of self harming fear and rage.

Defer to the expert
My humblebrag of the week is that I got arrested on Saturday in Parliament Square under section 13 of the 2000 Terrorism Act. I was one of the old duffers holding the sign in support of PA.

There were fees when I processed my donation. They possibly were currency exchange costs but it wasn’t clear if that was the case.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Climate plan based on phasing out fossil fuels doomed to fail, says Tony BlairEnglish
1·7 months agoIf Tony Blair is backing Carbon Capture, then that’s where the highest potential for grift is which means it must be the best talking point for covering for business as usual for all the heavy polluters while pretending to give a shit.
Useful for processing/dealing with capitalist propaganda
That is true. Though the process was drawn out over centuries and was generally run as cheaply as possible.
Why expend a fortune completely pacifying a country when you can put in settlers and let them steal and murder their way to supremacy.
Looks really great. What does the tabletop gameplay entail?
